If you have a family or you are new student, getting health insurance is an absolute must.

"Health is not valued til sickness comes" -- Dr Thomas Fuller

It's estimated that over 47 million residents in the US do NOT have any kind of health or medical insurance. What if something terrible happened to you and your loved one? How will you insure they get the best medical care? What if you are so ill that you cannot work for a while? Will your family have enough income to sustain them until you are better? You need to purchase the best health insurance for your family and children that you can afford.

"Make your own recovery the first priority in your life" -- Robin Norwood

Health insurance is one of those essential costs that should take priority above your cable bill, the internet service, even, you might argue, your phone bill. It's been said many times before, but if you don't have good health, you don't have much at all.

"Look to your health and if you have it, praise God and value it next to conscience; for health is the second blessing that we mortals are capable of, a blessing money can't buy" -- Izaak Walton

Luckily, in the age of the internet, buying decent but cheap health insurance is easier than ever. The internet has made the market for online health insurance highly competitive with better value, payment options and offers that should suit your every budget and need.
